Thanks perry, i googled too, but having instructions as part of the rdo quickstart is ideal as it is in the flow of things. For eg. I installed centos7 via pxe install and since rdo quick start didn't say anything specific abt Nm i just followed basic install process, only to know later that nm need to be disabled, which is not easy for someone not fairly expert in networking stuff so having the right cmds as part of rdo quick start pre reqs would help rdo beginerrs a lot

google search for 'rdo disable network manager' turned up this:
https://openstack.redhat.com/Fedora_20_with_existing_network
it's a bit more than you would need, but in there are simple steps for
disabling network manager
But I agree that having more accessible HOWTOs for this specific area
would make sense. This wiki page is Fedora specific (though the same
steps should work on CentOS 7 I believe) and doesn't cover initial
installation, only after install how to disable NM.
I believe though, that removing network manager in a kickstart based
installation of CentOS or Fedora is as simple as adding NetworkManager
to the list of blacklisted packages.
(i.e. under %packages add -NetworkManager) [1]
